 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

To make the objects, technical means and advantages of the present disclosure more readily understood, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described hereinafter in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a media interaction method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps.

At step 101, a triggering request for representing media information is sent, and a history statistic number N of previous triggering requests for representing media information is received, where M is a positive integer or zero.

Herein, media promotion information may be sent to respective terminals by a server at a network side, and the respective terminals trigger media promotion information to send triggering requests for representing media information to the server. After the server receives the triggering requests for representing media information from the respective terminals, it counts the history statistic number M of the triggering requests, where M is a positive integer or zero. When the server receives a triggering request from a certain terminal, it will add 1 to the history statistic number M. The server also sends the history statistic number M counted by the time when the server sends the history statistic number M to the respective terminals according to an order of time when the server receives the triggering requests.

For example, assume there are 3 terminals, terminal A, terminal B and terminal C. The terminal A sends a triggering request to the server at a first (1St) second, and the terminal B sends a triggering request to the server at a second (2nd) second, and the terminal C sends a triggering request to the server at a third second. At the first second, the server receives the triggering request sent from the terminal A. Assuming that the server has received 4 triggering requests previously, then the server sends a history statistic number M to the terminal A, where M is 4, and then the server adds 1 to M, i.e., M being updated to 5. At the second, the server receives the triggering request sent from the terminal B, and at this time, M is 5, then the server returns the history statistic number M to the terminal B, where M is 5, and then the server adds 1 to M, i.e., M being updated to 6. Then at the third second, the server receives the triggering request sent from the terminal C, and at this time, M is 6, then the server returns the history statistic number M to the terminal C, where M is 6, and then the server adds 1 to M, i.e., M being updated to 7.

For example, an email server at a network side may send an email to respective email receiving terminals, and the email contains a link to media promotion information. After the respective email terminals trigger the link, the email server receives triggering requests for representing media information, and counts the triggering requests, e.g., counting the number of the triggering requests.

At step 102, it is determined whether M is smaller than a preset positive integer N, where N is at least 1. If M is smaller than N, then the method proceeds to step 103; or otherwise, if M is larger than or equal to N, the method proceeds to step 104.

At step 103: received media information is blurred, and blurred media information is represented.

At step 104: all media information is represented.

Blurring media information for example includes: generating an overlay on media information, and generating mosaic on the overlay.

The server at the network side sends media information to the respective terminals, and the respective terminals receive media information.

For example, media information may be at least one of: image information contained in an email; video information contained in an email; audio information contained in an email; image information contained in a weibo message; video information contained in a weibo message; or audio information contained in a weibo message.

The server at the network side may further send a history statistic number M of triggering requests to the respective terminals. The history statistic number M is updated dynamically, so that the respective terminals can know the latest value of M in time.

For example, media information is divided into N pieces of sub-media information in which M pieces of sub-media information are displayed on a displayer of a user terminal, and rest N-M pieces of sub-media information are displayed on the displayer after being blurred, where N is a positive integer not smaller than 1. The M pieces of sub-media information and the N-M pieces of sub-media information are selected randomly, or in other ways. For example, in a situation where media information is an image, N pieces of media information may be displayed in sequence according to their locations in the image. For audio information and video information, it may be divided into N segments, and M out of N segments may be represented. Audio information and video information may be divided according to its length or content.

N is a preset positive integer not smaller than 1. Values of M received by the respective terminals may be different because times when the values of M are counted are different.

For example, assume that N is 3000, and M received by a terminal is 1200. Then, on this terminal, media information is divided into 3000 pieces of sub-media information in which 1200 pieces of sub-media information are represented and rest N-M (i.e., 1800) pieces of sub-media information are blurred, and the blurred N-M pieces of sub-media information are represented. For example, media information may be image information. That is, on the terminal, the image is divided into 3000 pieces of sub-images, and 1200 pieces out of them are clearly displayed while rest 1800 pieces are blurred (e.g., covered with mosaic).

In an embodiment, once it is determined that M is smaller than N, all media information will be blurred.

In an embodiment, when N-M is equal to zero, media information will not be divided and blurred, but all media information will be represented.

When N-M is smaller than zero, media information will not be divided and blurred, but all media information will be represented.

In an embodiment, it is further determined whether the triggering request is valid. If it is determined that the triggering request is valid, the triggering request is set as a valid triggering request, and counted into the history statistic number M of triggering requests; if it is determined that the triggering request is invalid, the triggering request is set as an invalid triggering request, and will not be counted into the history statistic number M of triggering requests.

In an embodiment, determining whether the triggering request is valid may include at least one of the following: determining whether the triggering request is valid according to an IP address of a sending source of the triggering request; determining whether the triggering request is valid according to an account of the sending source of the triggering request, etc. For example, triggering requests sent from a same IP address can only be counted once and/or triggering requests sent from a same account are counted only once.

In an embodiment, the method further includes the following process. When N-M is not zero, an information carrier that carries media information is sent to a certain third party which is on a third party receiving list preset by the server; and the third party in the third party receiving list sends a triggering request for representing media information. In this way, a user may be encouraged to forward the information carrier carrying media information (e.g., an email) to more receiving users, so that N-M can reach zero or be smaller than zero faster, to represent all media information.

Media information for example is image information; and sub-media information is sub-image information; and blurring the N-M pieces of sub-media information includes: generating an overlay on the N-M pieces of sub-image information, and generating mosaic on the overlay.

In an embodiment, the terminal may include but is not limited to: a feature phone, a smart phone, a palm computer, a personal computer (PC), a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant, etc.

Though detailed examples of the terminal are provided, a person skilled in the art can be aware that what is listed are only for illustration purpose, and should not be construed as limitations to the protection scope of the present disclosure. The terminal may be applicable to any smart terminal operating system, and an operating system that can be used includes but is not limited to: Android, Palm OS, Symbian, Windows mobile, Linux, iphone OS, Black Berry OS 6.0, Windows Phone, etc.

Specifically, the terminal may adopt an Android operating system, and the terminal may use various versions of Android operating systems including but not limited to: Astro Boy (Android Beta), Clockwork Robot (Android 1.0), Cupcake (Android 1.5), Donut (Android 1.6), Eclair (Android 2.0/2.1), Froyo (Android 2.2), Gingerbread (Android 2.3), Honeycomb (Android 3.0), Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0), Jelly Bean (Android 4.1), etc.

Though specific versions of the Android platform have been listed in the foregoing, the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the listed versions, and they may be applicable to other versions based on the Android software architecture.

In the following, the present disclosure will be described using an example in which media information is image information and the media information carrier is an email.

For example, when the embodiments of the present disclosure are used for email-related media promotion, a media information banner serving as the promotion content may be inserted into an email, and the email is sent to respective email receiving terminals. The email may be: if you want to see an overall promotion content of the promotion product, the email should be opened by N (where N is a preset positive integer) users. That is, the method is to encourage an email receiving terminal to send the email to others. Each time when a new person opens the email, media information of the email will be more fully represented, and finally, if more than N people have read the email, media information will be unveiled.

During implementation, the email may contain a script page, and the script page displays an image based on the number of times that users open the script page (repeated open will not be counted).

First, a media information source uploads materials of a banner image to a media delivery system; and sets email addresses of target people; then the media delivery system generates a hypertext marked language (html) page (including a script page) based on the uploaded banner image; and the html page has the following functions: (1) dividing the banner image into N pieces (e.g., N is 3000); (2) blurring the banner image; and (3) counting the number of times of opening and displaying the banner image.

FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of blurring media information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of representing media information according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Then, according to orientation requirements of the media information source, the media delivery system saves a html file in an email and sends it to target people. When a target person opens the email and views the banner image, the html file will add 1, and notify the target person of the number of people that have opened the email, to encourage the target user to open the email; a user is counted based on an email account and an independent IP, if both of which of the user are unique, then the user is identified as a valid user, and is counted.

When finally, N (i.e., 3000) persons have opened the email and viewed the banner image, the html file will automatically represent media information, and unveil the blurred part to display an overall image.

In the foregoing, the embodiments of the present disclosure are described using image information as media information, and using the email as the media information carrier as an example. The description is only for illustration purpose, and should not be construed as limitations to the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, media information may also be video information, the media information carrier is the email, and the blurring operation may be covering mosaic on the video. Media information may be audio information, and the media information carrier is the email; in this case, the blurring operation may be adding noises in an audio, etc.

Based on the foregoing description, a media interaction apparatus is further provided according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a structure of a media interaction apparatus according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 4, the apparatus includes a triggering request sending unit 401, a media information receiving unit 402, and a media information representing unit 403.

The triggering request sending unit 401 sends a triggering request for representing media information, and receives a history statistic number M of previous triggering requests for representing media information, where M is a positive integer or zero.

receiving a triggering request for representing media information, and counting a history statistic number M of triggering requests, where M is at least a positive integer or zero;
determining whether M is smaller than a preset positive integer N which is not smaller than 1; and
blurring the media information so that a user terminal represents blurred media information in response to determining that M is smaller than the preset positive integer N; and representing all media information by the user terminal in response to determining that M is larger than or equal to the preset positive integer N.

14. The media interaction method of claim 13, wherein blurring the media information comprises:

generating an overlay on the media information; and
generating mosaic on the overlay.

15. The media interaction method of claim 13, wherein blurring the media information comprises:

dividing the media information into N pieces of sub-media information, and blurring N-M pieces of sub-media information out of the N pieces of sub-media information.

16. The media interaction method of claim 13, wherein

the media information is image information; and
wherein blurring the media information comprises: dividing the media information into N pieces of sub-media information, and generating an overlay on N-M pieces of sub-media information out of the N pieces of sub-media information; and generating mosaic on the overlay.

17. The media interaction method of claim 14, wherein

the media information is image information; and
wherein blurring the media information comprises: dividing the media information into N pieces of sub-media information, and generating an overlay on N-M pieces of sub-media information out of the N pieces of sub-media information; and generating mosaic on the overlay.
